Endorphins

This week I've had a lot of energy! It's probably because I've been working out a lot lately. I don't know why, but recently I've had a lot of motivation to exercise. I've gotten to the point where I love to workout! I actually look forward to it. Sometimes it's still hard to fit it into my day, but I try to plan time for it as much as possible. I still love running, but lately I've added more cross-training into my routine, which adds a nice variety to my workouts. It's so fun planning different workouts and different running routes! And the weather has been gorgeous! It just makes me want to get outside!

Sunday was supposed to be a rest day for me, but it was such a beautiful day that my roomies plus Alicia and I decided to go on a hike and enjoy the nice weather. It's been in the 60's and 70's recently- which is crazy for January! We went to Pocahontas State Park which is only about 30 minutes away. It was a pretty drive out there and a nice easy 5 mile hike. Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. :)
